Read the full agent description

Blencathra is a substantial period family home (2908 sqft) with detached annexe (879 sqft) quietly positioned within over 5.75 acres of amenity land on the fringe of the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

With handsome dressed stone elevations, comprehensive double glazing and an eco-efficient Biomass heating system the accommodation boasts many high quality bespoke fittings including oak flooring and staircases, bespoke fireplaces with multi fuel stoves and striking interior design.

A welcoming reception hall with galleried landing, guest WC and cloakroom leads to a sitting room and separate dining room, both being ideal zones for entertaining. The well-appointed family breakfast kitchen has an extensive provision of fitted cabinets and a separate utility / boot room.

The galleried landing serves four double family bedrooms, one of which has its own en-suite facility, with the additional comfort of a spacious house bathroom. Finally on the second floor there is a substantial principal bedroom suite with a shower room and dressing room.

To the front of the property there is a gravelled visitor parking / turning area and further gated car parking to the front of a detached purpose built annexe / guest accommodation / home office suite (879 sqft) with a ground floor office / sitting room, shower room and boiler room, with a substantial studio (incorporating living / bedroom / kitchenette areas) at first floor level. Also with the benefit of outdoor seating areas.

There are further useful outbuildings providing storage and stabling to support the extensive moorland amenity space which makes up the main body of the 5.75 acre land ownership.

This is a convenient rural setting within the AONB and a perfect base for the busy commuter seeking access to Skipton, Ilkley, Otley and Harrogate via the A59, the nearby market town of Pateley Bridge satisfies every day requirements from a shopping and recreational viewpoint.
